Damon Albarn on Jools Holland - London Calling

For all who's interested in Damon Albarn's side-projects including his latest Dr. Dee, here's a little recent piece of action. Damon Albarn was featured on the BBC music documentary 'London Calling' a few days ago and he had a few things to say about his music.

Albarn talked about bells and how he made music with large bells from Portobello Road. He exclaims what he loves about London is it's 'monumental history' and how he can be 'simultaneously' in two eras at the same time.

He then followed with more about Dr. Dee and how he tried to demonstrate the musical style of the time past.

There's also a mention of the Westway highway, which was the subject of Blur's latest (and only) song 'Under the Westway'.

Watch the short clip below.
